POEMSOUNDS - A STRANGE LP

Nick Harrison Violin Recorders ( who I believe was the String arranger on the Rolling Stones Goat Heads Soup

Stuart Pollack Guitar

Peter Rooke Percussion

An LP designed to aid the teaching of Poetry in Middle Schools from the early 70s - thoroughly odd in places - With strange freaky folk passages and dark undercurrents . Even in the early 70s I’m guessing this could have made for a fairly disturbing English lesson .

Possibly used in detention for particularly troublesome pupils .

Similar perhaps to The Barrow Poets curious LPs on ARGO or the Drama Workshop /BBC radiophonic Workshop The seasons LP - There is a touch of the Wicker Man soundtrack or Children of the stone / Owl Service Childrens 70s TV shows .There is a soundclip on the rather fine toys and techniques Blog site.
